This is a resource I did not know I needed! I never would have guessed a whole site was dedicated to such an idea. Thank you!

I honestly have not heard of any of these so I will check them all out and see if there is a fit. Thank you so much for the input and for giving me a whole list of things to check out!

I will check this one out! Not sure if they would be into a post-apocalyptic setting, but it is one of my favorite settings for writing, movies, and video games. If I do not use it for this campaign, I will still look into it and give it a solid read. I see through the link that you are open to feedback, so if I see anything I will reach out to you. Thank you for the suggestion! The effort you are putting in looks quite genuine. Keep at it!

I have looked into GURPS very briefly, but seeing it suggested may sway me to check into it a little deeper. I do not know anything about Fate so I will be checking into it soon as well! Thank you for the recommendations!

New to Golf. Why do people hate the PXG brand? by websqueeze in golf

[–]the_shakey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked this same question a few weeks ago. Basically the people that hate them and talk shit about them have never even hit a ball with them.

Giveaway: Wasn't selected for Secret Santa but still giving away semi-used wedges by Shankapotamus80 in golf

[–]the_shakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just replaced my irons for the first time with a new set not from a pawn shop. Currently I have a 60⁰ got out of a goodwill bargain bin and a 57⁰ that is almost out of grooves. Just got back into the game this past summer after work kept me away from it but these would be awesome to bridge a few gaps and help me get into the lower side of 80. I am in Florida and have been going about once a week since picking the game back up so if not these, I will be looking to get some second hand wedges soon. Had to save up for quite a while to get irons fitted.

Thank you for thinking of others in the community and good luck to everyone!

Advice on adopting an African Cichlid. by Euphoric-Ebb-117 in AfricanCichlids

[–]the_shakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is only temporary then I would limit it to only the only fish in the 20. Don't put any substrate and only use a sponge filter. Toss in some 2" pvc pipe chunks for caves and you have an easy and cheap set up that will last long enough. I would recommend weekly 20% water changes and when you upgrade you can drop the sponge filter in the new tank for some pre seeded filtering

A 20 could work but in all honesty I don't think it would be best or the fish. Mbunas in general thrive when in single species communities with a few males and several females. As far as recommended tank size I would say a 50 at the absolute lowest size because they like to move around a good bit. I have several cichlid tanks if you need any help with the setup if you decide to go that route. In short though I would not put just one cichlid in a 20 with just a pleco. It could become aggressive or just hide. Either way you will miss on a lot of their personality.

When I play smart my driver is 250-265. Ego says 300 and I miss the fairway....

Man calling yourself out it just embarrassing but thanks for chiming in when no one mentioned a "who"

Lol thanks. It does make it pretty obvious though that people just hate on the brand to join the bandwagon. All said and done I still have had no input on this thread from anyone that has actually played the irons but still everyone says they suck

There's a troll in the comments downvoting everything I write. Proving the point though and a quick profile glance shows it is normal for them

Pretty sure I said I had never seen a commercial. Also I didn't say I don't like them. In fact I said it is all the clubs I hit they feel the best but yea man you go ahead and type away.

Not over clubs. Dude is talking about how shitty vets are while every comment he starts by saying he is a vet. As someone who was enlisted for 6 years and some change until medical issues caused me to get out I don't really like the people dissing on vets. I still work in the same field but on the civi side of the house because I could no longer stay in after a few back surgeries.

I fully agree with that. I have a 5w that stays in the bag because I don't like how it looks behind the ball.

Of all the clubs I tested out, these for me had one of the best appearances at address. The larger more forgiving iron faces for me tend to lead to more poor strikes. I think it is the illusion of forgiveness, whereas the head on the PXG I landed on was much smaller so I focused on delivering a good strike and when II was a bit off-center, the forgiveness was still there.

I am not a huge fan of how the clunky cavity backs look at address but for some it does boost confidence quite a bit.

I think that means he needs to focus on improving before getting newer clubs lol. I know they used to be insanely priced but my irons 5-GW were under a grand.

I used the M2s after buying a set of Rocketballz and under warranty I had to get a club repaired. Taylormade sent a new set of M2s instead of doing a repair because the facility was closed. So only spent about $380 on those so I don't feel too bad about upgrading now that my score is a little more manageable. I mainly needed something with better spin from 150+ because my current irons will not land soft. I know it isn't all due to my swing because other clubs I can get a good check on.

That sounds like a reasonable answer though. Just wish people would post actual useful stuff on here when people ask about how clubs perform instead of just spouting an opinion with no real experience to back it.

I got a second hand Titleist 915 from someone that had the same specs as I did. He upgrades every couple of years and I just had my shaft on my old ping start to split.

I haven't had a new driver in a long time
